Nowadays, sesame leaves have become one of the best foods for refreshing the palate, and the ways of preparing sesame leaf noodles continue to evolve: stir-fried with chopped scallions, chili peppers, shredded ginger, and seasonings to make sesame leaf noodles; sautéed with raw lamb and plenty of seasonings before making sesame leaf noodles; or simmered in broth and sprinkled with chicken bouillon — all can be made into delicious sesame leaf noodles. In short, no matter how they are prepared or what seasonings are added, the unique aroma of sesame leaves never loses its charm.
